This one is a right gem. I can't believe that something like this would ever happen, but it has. Please be aware of the buyer in question! The buyer was... heftymadmax They bid on a job lot of 50x Alkaline Batteries - presumably without reading the description - then sent me an eBay message: "...

Now then, is this just me, or is February 2018 the month of dodgy buyers?! This is the 3rd time in a few days that I've had to update this list... Here we have an absolute gem. I didn't think this would ever happen, but here goes... User in question: jimmynock38 This buyer didn't even have the chan...

Courier Guide has now been updated as of 1/13/19. This is to reflect the Shutl price increases that came into effect on January 4th, 2019. Due to the nature of the price increases, it may be cheaper (on some services) to go directly to the courier's website, or to use a price comparison website such...

@spotify95 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46647954 :D Nice :D However, if it is based on the Radio 1 chart, then I don't give two hoots about it as I don't ever listen to BBC radio and haven't tuned in to their chart show in about a decade. I'm more interested as to what the Christma...

Haha, nice one! I can see the concrete lighting in the background of that image, so I can see where you are coming from - maybe that road will have all of its concrete LPS' lamps disappeared along with new shiny LEDs in their place?

Another update to this list is forthcoming! This time, it's: mysiczek Reason? Well, plagiarism? Theft of intellectual property? No attempt to reference my listings? Or just stealing my descriptions/titles as they see fit? If you have a similar item to what someone else is selling, then fine, use th...

Here we go again.... only this time they are being much more creative and are using multiple accounts to deceive me! First account was: clearanceschrisnkez They bought a Giffgaff SIM card from me for 1p including postage (lowest amount possible). I got the SIM sent out (directly through Giffgaff) a...

@spotify95 Yesterday I reported a flickering pinkish red LPS light outside my mum's house and tonight discovered it's been replaced with an LED! All the rest on that road will be replaced within a few months. Also, the final few LPS lights on the road going past Tesco have now been replaced with LE...

It's time for another update. Usually, eBay is a nice, civil platform to buy and sell on, and there's not usually any vindictive buyers out there to try and cause havoc. I say "usually", because there's always the odd troublemaker or so. Today's troublemaker is: gbmfreewheel This buyer pu...

See here: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=860107 Yes, you guessed it, the prices for subscriptions are increasing. Are the SDMB in a spot of financial shit then? I guess it has something to do with (a) intrusive adverts that open new tabs and/or malware (and therefore having to...

This one gets rather interesting. It's a scenario that you never want to have to encounter as an eBay seller, but unfortunately, it has happened to me over the last few days or so. The special buyer in question is... spodenkiadidas1212 This transaction was doomed from the start. It was for a job lo...
